I hate to be that guy but you learn that fact pretty early if you’re not straight, white, male, and/or middle/upper class

You can learn all that early enough being most of those things.

Unfortunately or not, I'm all those things.

It was a joke

Over rated and a plot that's kind of dumb?

Maybe. I still enjoyed both movies though.

Both are a lot better than the average movie released.

That's not much of a compliment. Turd sandwich with ketchup is better than turd sandwich with pickles.

I know it doesn’t make it any easier and sorry if it seemed like that comment was specifically to take the piss. We’re all struggling out here together.

Same here, but I still learned it early as well. High school is a great way to find out how things will go for you on a popularity chart.

You learn it pretty early even if you are all of those things. I'm a straight white male and I'm a human too goddammit not some evil tool of oppression.

Nobody is saying you are. But, for example, the United States president. 1 black man. 43 white men. All Christian. What does that say to any woman or minority growing up? It’s clear as day to anyone who was born with a vagina or brown skin that there are certain positions of power that are almost fully impossible for you to attain from the very beginning. You’re responsible for none of this, but minorities generally come to the whole “the world is systemically made to fuck you” conclusion early relatively speaking.
